Crusts of land mark the rim of Santorini’s spooky 10 km wide and 1,250 ft deep caldera. The largest, curving around the northwest, is Thirassia, part of Santorini until the two were blasted apart in 236 BC.

In one of its pumice quarries a Middle Cycladic settlement was discovered, pre-dating Akrotiri, though there are no traces of it now. The main business on Thirassia is growing tomatoes and beans on the fertile plateau; the largest village, Manolas, has tavernas and rooms to rent.

Excursion boats from Oia make trips out to the burnt isles’, Palia Kameni and Nea Kameni (born in 1720), both still volcanically active, especially the Metaxa crater on Nea Kameni, which last erupted in 1950. However, even though the local brochures promise `the strange volcano which cause you greatness’, be forewarned that some people come away disappointed. The tourist trail up the mountain is a bit difficult and stinks of sulphur. Most of the excursions take people to swim in the sulphurous mud nearby and hot volcanic waters around

How to Become a Successful Wedding Planner With Inexpensive Weddings

Can you make a living planning weddings? Yes. As a self-employed professional, you can either charge a set fee for the wedding or a percentage of the total cost. Your income can be uncertain when you first start planning these extravaganzas, but as your reputation spreads and you gain more experience, your income can increase dramatically.

Of course, you will make more income on an elaborate, huge wedding, but several smaller and simple weddings will be less stressful when you are starting out and, when the separate income is added together, you will probably make the same amount of money.

Some agencies who track salaries report yearly incomes in the $50,000 range for wedding planners. One such agency, PayScale, currently reports these average hourly rates for the profession:

* Georgia $27.50

* Massachusetts $20.64

* New York $15.00

* Louisiana $14.00

* Pennsylvania $10.23

* Texas $9.00

As with any self-employment, your success depends entirely on your creativity, reliability and marketing skills. There

But how can you be sure that this is the right decision for you? After all, this is your big day so you want to get it right.
